Let's hope so.

Dave Woods is equally poor.

RL coverage is appalling in the UK. Scott Donald's recent assessment of Sky in particular upon his departure from the country was spot on.

Eddie is like the cringeworthy mate everyone seems to have who pretends to know about sport, tries to join in the conversation, reads the odd headline but inherently, knows nothing.

Stevo has become a parody of himself and his assessment of games is way off beam.

Phil Clarke lost his credibility with his "injury" comment along with him repeatedly drawing one off at anything or anyone Wigan-centric.

Sky's coverage on a Thursday night of Co-Op games is SO much better. Bill Arthur, Terry O'Connor & Barrie Mac make a far better commentary team. I'd love to see them promoted to doing the Super League matches instead.

But even Eddie, Stevo & Phil come across as brilliant compared to the BBC clowns. There's only Clare Balding who's anywhere near decent on BBC and that's more down to enthusiasm for the game than it is for knowledge. The fact they continue with dross like Ray French & Jonathan Davies is another example of them not giving a toss.

A combination of Brian Carney, Terry & Barrie would be best imo.

Absolutely.

Brian Carney is an excellent summariser. By far the best around.

He is very good.

I also think Robbie & Iestyn do a good job on the BBC.

You were doing so well until then

Robbie isn't great "live", stutters a little too much and his brain thinks faster than he is able to project to the audience.

Iestyn could talk a glass eye to sleep.

Remember Robbie's radio show on the Pulse? More wooden than the Trojan Horse.

Rivalled only by his balls up in the Grand Final suggesting Terry Newton played for both Wigan and St Helens and his "sudden unexpected tragic death" quote. As opposed to those planned takings of life we all know about?

That for me sealed it.

The t!t.

But great when you don't have Sky so are thus used to watching nothing at all....

I think Jon Wells has taken to summarising very well given he is new to the post.

Seriously, what did Crabtree do wrong last weekend to be dropped ahead of Griffin?
